Compact and easy to mount on your windshield.

The XTR-140 also features Whistler's new attention grabbing feature, the dual LED alert periscope. Two blue LED's sit atop the XTR-140 and flash when you receive an alert, helping to grab your attention.

The Whistler XTR-140 includes an Alert Priority feature, which makes sure the most important alert is displayed if multiple alerts are detected. A battery saver option turns off your detector automatically if you forget.

Laser Audio / Visual Alerts
When a laser signal is detected, the display indicates alert by illuminating the "V/L" and scrolling the signal strength indicators from right to left or display indicates an L on the display. The audio alert is continuous for a minimum of 3 seconds.

Dual LED Alert Periscope
Whistler's new Dual LED Alert Periscope provides an additional attention getting visual alert. The two extra LED's flash on and off when the unit alarms to provide a unique visual alert. This alert can be programmed, through the Option Select Mode to: 1. flash for all alarms, 2. remain on, or 3. turn LEDs off completely.

City vs. Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio and visual warning of laser/radar systems while maintaining full sensitivity. Highway mode is the default setting of all Whistler's laser/radar detectors. City mode helps reduce the annoyance of automatic door openers and burglar alarm alerts by providing an initial alert (same distance as Highway Mode) then remaining quiet unless the signal strength becomes very strong. When the signal increases the unit will alert briefly to notify you of the change in signal strength.

Quiet Mode and Auto Quiet Mode
Quiet Mode cancels audio during an alert and any new alert within 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, approximately 2 beeps are provided on any new alert and unit then remains quiet. Auto Quiet reduces the selected audio level to level (1) approximately 5 seconds after a radar or safety radar signal is detected. The alert for any new signal within 20 seconds will resume at level (1). Auto Quiet does not affect VG-2 or laser alerts.

Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: Whistler XTR-140 2010-02-21
Comment: Excellent bang for the buck. It does what I need it do and you can't beat the price. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that some of the more expensive units have but all I wanted was a basic detector to warn me in advance which this detector does perfectly. If you don't wanna spend an arm and a leg and want a good radar detector, then this is the unit to buy. I am very pleased.

Summary: Inexpensive and Effective 2010-02-17
Comment: This is the 1st detector I have owned. It worked well for 1.5 months, then it suddenly blew a fuse and stopped picking up radar signals. I returned it to the manufacturer and they replaced it with a new one within 3 weeks, exactly the time I was promised. This specific model will signal false alarms when driving by banks, stores, etc. when in Highway mode, but I prefer to drive in this mode. This product is very effective - it has successfully alerted me well in advance of every speed trap I have gone through. Good value and performance (malfunction notwithstanding) for the money. I would have given it 5 stars if I did not have to return it due to the malfunction. However, I am pleased with the manufacturer's service under warranty.

Summary: 40.00 verses 150.00 2010-02-07
Comment: I know the title is odd but this is the best spent 40.00 verses a 150.00 speeding ticket. My husband uses this is his work truck for his running about town and just around our home. It's perfect and inexpensive and he doesn't worry about someone stealing it compared to a expensive one we use for long distance traveling.
